Italians Protest US Base
Did you know that our nation(if you're American), the land of the free and the home of the brave, has permanent military bases in other countries? And I don't just mean in Iraq. In fact the United States maintains over 725 bases that our military admits to, with over a half million personnel. Did you know that?
Did you know that most of these bases serve no useful purpose, that many of them are focused on spying and some exist purely to acquire or guard oil? Did you know that people around the world resent these bases in their countries and view them as part of an unwanted empire? Did you know that the United States has proposed to greatly expand its military presence in the beautiful Italian city of Vicenza, adding a huge new base to the existing one? Did you know your taxes(if you're American) will pay for it?

Yes, I know that billions of American taxpayers' dollars are wasted on the military.... not only Iraq, but around the world.
I wish the American people were smarter and knew more.
I wish the media would be more indepedent of the government and tell people how tax dollars are wasted.
